 In response to letter no. 12-9/56 of June 12, 2019 with the request to carry out a control of the economic agent concerned, the State Labour Inspectorate sent us the message no. 863 of July 3, 2019 regarding the decline of competence based on Art. 23 1 of Law no. 186-XVI of July 10, 2008 on Occupational Health and Safety and the impossibility of carrying out unannounced controls based on Art. 14 and 19 of Law no. 131-XIX of June 8, 2012 on state control over entrepreneurial activity.  Another public institution - the National Agency for Public Health responded to our letter no. 06-3/21, of July 22, 2019 regarding the request for the contest by the message (no. 0120/1-3434 of July 31, 2019) about the redirection of the petition to the Agency for Consumer Protection and Market Surveillance.

(2) “All employees shall have the right to social protection of labour.
